Over the course of his long and prolific career, the pianist won twenty-five Grammy awards for his contributions to Jazz, and collaborated with countless musicians across genres. Of Corea, Paul English writes:
“Chick Corea is one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time – and certainly one of the most influential musicians in my life. I have joyfully included his music in my performances for over 40 years.”
